Being reminded a lot recently of the childhood job hope of working in a bookshop, so I’m curious what other people would have either as their overall dream bookshop speciality or as their department? Also, people who already work in a bookshop/library, do you have a speciality already?

I would love to have a combo bookshop and craft space with themed patterns or fabric/wool for the books every month. For a speciality, I love the fantasy/scifi so being able to do themed displays for the new releases would be so much fun!

Hey, so yeah, I am reading a collection of five novellas/novellettes/short stories (I don't know the terminology, but they are around 60 pages). Do you log and review them as separate stories, or finish the entire book and review the wholw thing? Also, if you do it the first way how do you log them so it counts as 5 stories instead of 1? Obviously I am not planning on "cheating" on my book goals, but I have already logged White Nights and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream as they were, even though they are 50 and 12 pages respectively. I genuinelly have no idea how to do this🥲
